Functionality
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational
speed ranges.
On vehicles equipped only with front
camera, the active emergency
braking operates from 3 mph to
50 mph when a vehicle has been
detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates from
3 mph to 87 mph when a vehicle has
been detected.
Active emergency braking only works
when the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened.
The system includes:
● brake preparation system
● emergency automatic braking
● smart brake assist
● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection
Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.
Emergency automatic braking
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash.
If active emergency braking is
applied, m flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Emergency automatic braking can
only occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert 3 141.
Front pedestrian protection 3 142.
Below a speed of 19 mph, emergency
automatic braking may slow down the
vehicle to a complete stop. If the
Driving and operating
speed exceeds 19 mph, emergency
automatic braking reduces the speed.
However, the driver must apply the
brake.
Emergency automatic braking may
slow the vehicle to a complete stop to
try to avoid a potential crash.
● Automatic transmission: If the
vehicle comes to a complete
stop, automatic braking is
maintained for up to two
seconds. Keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle
from starting off again.
● Manual transmission: If the
vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt
by a slight vibration in the brake
pedal.
9 Warning
Emergency automatic braking is
an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to
avoid crashes. Do not rely on the
system to brake the vehicle.
